Soldier, and the Civil Service.

The new Civil Service rules bear hard upon
the ex-soldiers of the Departments. Many of
them were making the existence Of a Civil
Service commission possible during the best
years Of their lives. They were in the service
of the Union in time of wal while many Of
those now occupying places not touched by the
new rules were enjoying the benefits of the
peace establishment Yet the ex-soldier, un-
der the new rules, upon failure to pass the
minimum, or under a new trial after six
months, may be Inundated by reduction or be
dismissed altogether. In the meantime the
man who has fourth class place has the ad-
vantage of the ex soldier in education, because
he preferred the walks of peace To those of war;
Justice seems TO require that the fourth-class
clerks should be compelled to stand an exam
ination for the places they hold and the agita-
tion for change Of the rules in this respect

The memorial TO Gen. John Sedgwick az

STORIES AND soNGS

After dinner they divided into groups. and
old war songs and "reminiscences occupied their
attention until nearly 10 o'clock One of tho
most successful leaders of the fun after dinner
was Maj. Gardner, one-legged veteran of the
Army of the Cumberland, who, propped up
on his crutches, was mounted on one of
the tables, and led in the old songs until he
was so hoarse that he could go no farther.
1t was nearly 10 o'clock when the band
played Home, Sweet Home" and the iolly
party made its way back to the boat The
ladies, with their escorts, occupied the upper
deck and cabin. while the forward part of the
lower deck was given up to scenes that would
have rivaled the most hilarious of an evening
in camp Old gray-hared soldiers, in MANY
cases with empty coat sleeves, Joined in the
merriment, and, as the Marine Band PLAYED
one after the other the stirring battle songs Of
the war, danced about the deck to the sound Of
the familiar music OF Joined in the choruses
with all the vim and enthusiasm that they threw
into them when they were in fact Marching
Through Georgia" Not satisfied with this in
the intervals between the music by the band
the songs were kept up in the most vigorous
manner. The boat arrived at her wharf
about III o'clock, closing the exceedingly inter-
esting and enjoyable meeting of the Army of
the Cumberland.

Gen. Garfield when was here at the anvailng
of the Thomas equestrian statue, my only other
statue at the Capital. We agreed that the stat

the pedestal. They are not so realistic as to be
rigidly interpreted rs representing the student,
the soldier and the statesman, yet that is the
general effect intended. The first figure rep
resents primitive youth, clad in a skin of
some kind. intent upon an intellectual prob
lem. The second is warrior reused as by
trumpet call to immediate action. The Gothic
Costume is hint at Garfield's Saxon Gothic
ancestory. The third figure. that of states
man. Is represented As more refined in the re-
pose of mature intellect. eomrnemoratiBg his
judicial legal and statesmanike qualities
These figures may be also interpreted as repre-
senting youth, force and intellect. In per-
fecting the design / had in mind the site
chosen for the statue, and adapted the
one to the other. The bend of First street
where it is intersected by Maryland avenue
enabled me To make the triangular pedestal so
that one of the figures shOHld he in full view

A TRIP TO MOUNT VERNON.

After ahasty lunch the members Of the Army
of the Cumberland and their invited guests to
the number of about $50, drove down TO the
wharf and took the steamer w. W. CoreOran for
Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall. The Ma
rine Band was on board. and the boat swung
away from her moorings 10 the tune "We Won't
Go Home Till Morning." The Committee of
Arrangements had made ample preparations for
luuch ON the boat, and the ride down was
passed in quiet conversation and story telling
by the veterans.
The boat landed at Mount Vernon at 4:3O
o'clock. aud the entire party walked up the hill
under the fresh, green forest trees to the tomb
of Washington, and, with uncovered heads
passed by the vault containing his remains
while the band played Nearer My God to
Thee" After photograph of the group had
been taken the mansion was Inspected, and half
an hour later the boat was boarded and the
party crossed to Marshall Hall. Here the
real fun of the day began. and the veterans be-
came boys again.
